I never thought much about blood sugar levels. I have seen my mother and my husband taking their blood sugar levels before each meal and I still did not think too much about that!

Anyone who consistently has high blood sugar is a candidate for diabetes. You should see your medical physician and check it out because anyone who has consistently high blood sugar levels could be developing diabetes and all the complications that go with it.

Are you aware that when you check your blood sugar levels you are measuring the amount of glucose in your blood. Glucose is a sugar that comes from the foods you eat and is formed and stored inside the body. It is the main source of energy for your cells. When the body cannot make enough insulin or cannot use it correctly, glucose is unable to enter the cells and make the energy your body needs. Click Here!

When this happens in the diabetic's body, the glucose builds up in their blood. Having too much glucose (sugar) in the blood for long periods of time can damage the vessels that supply blood to vital organs and this can increase the diabetic's risk of heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, vision problems, and nerve problems.

So if your blood sugar levels are high, take the time to see your physician and have them tested. It is a known fact that the longer you have diabetes and the longer your blood sugar levels are high, the higher the risk of your having complications caused by diabetes. Click Here!
